As part of a five part series, Eric and Janel will be diving deep into the five key pillars that all founders communicate clearly to VCs during their pitches. In this episode of Uncapped Notes, Eric and Janel kick this series off with a discussion about “team” - arguably the most important of the five pillars. VCs are looking for founding teams that have a history together that’s been tested by time or stress before, and founding teams that have the relevant experiences and skills needed to solve their problem.
